Why teach tricks? Because to the dog ITS ALL TRICKS! Trick dog straining can help shy dogs become more confident, hyper dogs become more focused, busy dogs feel more settled, competition dogs more relaxed — the list goes on and on! Trick dog training is all about relationship building, which trickles down into ALL training you do with your dog.
